@Broken

Whts relation between re-painted n Welded Car :o

[bubble]

i want to know about both but the people outside the country are so efficient that the cars being imported from there are too new as compared to repainted cars here? wow...and u said all of the vitz are repainted.. may be ur rite coz 99 2000 vitz in such a good condition ....

Method 1: Knock on different pieces of the car. A painted piece will have base(putene) and would sound different

Method 2: Sit beside the car and painted piece will have bubbles or a different texture.

Method 3: At night repainted piece will have different shade than the original one. This method is the simplest one(especially incase of silver cars) and even a kid can tell whether a car is painted from anywhere or not using this method

lol dude dont u know just use ur commons sense obviously if a car is welded frm inside then then for sure its accidented so it must be repainted

@bubble
reconditioned cars are always mean to be repainted dude !!
only 2nd hand car which u wana import got the issue that its original or not ... other wise make it sure tht every recondtioned car is repainted !!

@mani
thts apply totally on local cars just watch and judge true true !!

All re-paint doesnt need welding as some times a minor Dents can cause to Re-paint, n i have all sense including Common Sense which might b lacking at ur side, No Offence.

All re-conditioned r not re-painted but many of thm does.

broken: Yr theory wont work on all repainted cars, A repainted car need not to be accidented to get a fresh coat of paint! But anyway, that's a typical theory used by buyers/sellers in local car market so it works for them:)

@porsche and levin

lol i didnt say wht u both are pointing out lol i never said that every repaint car is welded lol i said if a car is welded then it must have a repaint atleast at that part lol got it ? guys

so it need common sense here peeps if a car is welded how come it can have orginal paint obviously it got a repaint at that part atleast so got ma point ? and the welded part was just one point to make sure that its that part is repainted or not

@porshce

wht u call a reconditioned car ?

[Damned]

Suppose if you suspect that a door is repainted then open it up and check door's inside paint with the one you see outside, if its repainted the difference would be there (same condition applies for other body parts).

[sameerq]

@porsche_maker is absolutely right. That is the ultimate check usually a car is rarely painted unless a body panel is dented and the mechanics here do not do proper method of removing dents which involves careful metal-shrinking through heat instead they just use body-fillers, thus knocking does not give a resonant sound but on the contrary a hollow sound revealing a repaired dent and repaint.

@ALL

Repainted cars, no matter how good the painter is, will have an Orange Peel Effect to it....

[bubble]

does it relates on fading of the colour of the caR?

[AkbarGr8]

@BROKEN,

for your kind info buddy, we are not importing reconditioned cars, but USED cars. THey are not necessarily repainted in most cases.. Whereas local dealers do buy accidental cars and repair them here, hence selling at a good profit... So no need to label all imported cars as REPAINTED!

lol

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[robin]

there are devices that tell u this thing. even if its reapinted well it'll do for me.

[rkhnsh]

Nice question @ bubble...... i also needed the answer.

[bubble]

hmmm

[Cylestyne]

I'll take a repainted car anyday (provided I was buying a used car) rather than a peice of junk that people call 'in original condition'.

[bluntknife]

i second cylestyne, i cant understand the fuss surrounding a car being repainted.
